"You did what?"

Junior screamed. He couldn't believe what Elise was telling him

"I agreed to be friends with Xavier" Elise said

Junior was confused about the whole thing

"Elise, can you please go over what you told me again? It seems I missed something" Junior requested

Elise repeated how Xavier had called her repeatedly on Saturday and how they had met up on Sunday, she told Junior what Xavier had said and her response

"You agreed to hang out with him again because you feel he would play the same game his dad did" Junior stated

"Exactly" Elise replied

"Elise, I highly doubt that's what Xavier is up to. He knows he would fail miserably if he tried, I'm sure he's up to something else" Junior said

"Well, we will never know what his plans are until I go out with him" Elise said

"Are you sure there's no other way?" Junior asked

"No. You don't have to worry about me, I can handle Xavier" Elise answered

Junior was worried and it was obvious from his appearance. His brow was furrowed, ind

    "Xavier is engaged?" Junior asked "Yes" Jack answered"That family is really something else. Why would Xavier ask Elise out when he already has someone he intends to marry?" Junior asked"Why would Elise even agree to go out with him in the first place? I can't wrap my head around it" Jack said"He reached out to her and just like his father, Elise is convinced Xavier is up to something. I'm convinced of that as well, but I wasn't expecting this" Junior said"What do you guys think he's planning?" Jack asked"We have no idea.

    "Vincent Vincenzo?" Junior yelled.They were sitting inside Junior's car in the parking lot at D'premium branch.Micah had arrived at work earlier than normal and he had called Elise and Junior to fill them in as usual."I can't believe it!

Kelly, however, simply brushed off the question, choosing to ignore him.Sensing a hint of tension, Ben interjected with a diplomatic suggestion.

He would have called it a day but he wasn't tired yet, also, he intended to fulfill his promise to Sam.To help him stay fully awake, he decided to get coffee. Thankfully, the building was empty, so he wasn't afraid of having a repeat of the incident which had happened the previous day.When he was getting closer to the storage room, Micah heard voices, he paused. The voices paused too.Micah simply shrugged and continued on his way, but then, he heard the voices again and decided to turn back.On tiptoes, Micah made his way to the door of the storage room. His hand trembled as it grasped the cold metal handle of the storage room door. The hinges creaked in protest as he slowly swung it open, revealing a scene that stole his breath. His eyes widened, pupils dilating in disbelief, as the stark fluorescent light spilled into the room, casting an eerie glow. A gasp escaped his lips, and for a mom

    Micah strolled into the company. He was just about to enter his work area when he was stopped by Mr Black."Good morning Sir." Micah said. However, he got no response."I completed Janet's task yesterday. You can go and confirm if you'd like. Also, I know the incident yesterday must have painted me in a bad light, but I want to assure you, that is not who I am. It was an accident, I am not clumsy and what happened yesterday will never repeat itself again."Mr Black just kept on staring at him, so he asked "Can I go now?"

Micah replied."I said, what are you really doing here?" The manager asked again.Micah's palms grew clammy as his manager's piercing gaze bore into him.

    "I have and in the most unfortunate circumstances." Micah replied.Letting out a chuckle, Kelly said, "I doubt there's anyone in this company who met Janet in fortunate circumstances. However, I'd like to hear your own unfortunate encounter, tell me all about it."Micah proceeded to tell her what had truly happened and when he was done, Kelly scoffed."There was really no point trying to explain your side of the story to Mr Black." She said."Why? What do you mean?" Micah asked curiously."For one thing, it's a known secret that Janet and Mr Black are in a relationship." Kelly answered.Micah's eyes shot up as realization dawned on him. "No wonder." He mused."Mr Black will always take Janet's side. So I'll advise you to try and avoid further encounters with her. Also, it's best if you head to her table first. In Fact, go right now and should also go along with two cups of coffee, you're going to need them." Kelly advised."And why's that?"
